yeah guys, 245 o na 10 isnt crazy at all, i ran a 225 on a 10.5 with no issues. and the reason i did it was for maximum fender clearance, the bead will deffinately seat... i will put my life on it

dudes, ^^^^ i thought the same thing when looking at them initially, but i felt i would have power to spin them regardless, but in actuality, the rears weighed in at 23.78 LBS,.... and for an 18x10 that is IN-CRED-IB-BALLZ!!!
seeings how those falkens im selling are 32 lbs for a 19x10.5....
Also, interestingly enough, i know theres alot of meat top the center, but its been carved well on the back to lighten it up.... BESIDES, those centers are forged on an "8 thousand ton" (thats 8,000,000 LBS) forging press...
Hell ... fabulous makes Japan touring wheels as well as Japan Cart/F1 wheels, so i trust them
but liek i said, they are amazingly light for the size..... BUT my roomates 18x13 meister weighs like 19 lbs, hahaha, 3 piece wheels always seem to be lighter than 2 piece weld-ins (57 pro) like all the other wheels ive owned...
these are lighter than my 57 pros and my 57S'.... but not as light as the roomies meisters
anyways, 25 lbs is average for an 18x10 (so long as it isnt gravity cast, gravity cast would = like 30 lbs...) i mean... if weight is so important there are tires out there ranging from 21 lbs to 26.5 lbs,.... i coudl save weight there too...
as for lip size, its right at 5.5 inches in the rear and 3.75 front

correction......
Vip styling on a drift car that makes 360 whp on a KA24de-T, other goodies include a "built everything"
haha, right now the car has vertex kit, but i think im switching to "Instant Gentleman" aero or more well known as (Supermade aero)
oh and im gonna beat it up like Roast beef ***** lips at the track.....
haha, because.... hush hush, i bought the most beat up (rb25det, 5 speed, white) R33 you'll ever see froma friend in japan (will arrive early dec.) to use as my daily driver, blah
i should explicate, i'm a fabulous wheel *****, i'm very convinced that they make some of the best constructed forged wheels in the world. I like the vip look, but i also think driving is the most important part, so as my car is built to "suit" me, i figured now i'll put the cherry on top. I went through about 8 sets of wheels in the last year to find these, besides i got a screaming deal on them, as i am still in college and cannot afford to pay the retail on these

Desclaimer - In no way am i making claims to defend them, they will defend themselves, nor am i trying to "sell you" on them... but i will show you that they are not primarily based on the idea of styling, but as almost all high end Vip wheels go,... they are forged and strong due to much R&D, and surprisingly lightweight....and yaddya yadda, enjoy
